    I just dont see him being involved enough to be fantasy relevant. Lot of mouths to feed plus Ebron is still there, Canada runs 2 TE sets.

    He’ll need to be TD dependent to get you any kind of points in fantasy.

    I think he could see more Redzone to 30 yards out mark. I don't think he is a solid every week starter in fantasy but a good swing utility player.

    He should have been obsolete after last season ended. The Kwame Brown of Tight Ends. He needs to be gone, yesterday.

    When you have the 4 WR we have and Najee and Freiermuth there is not enough touches to go around For Eric this is why I said a couple weeks back he should be shopped.

    Just like every tight end not named Kelce, Waller, or Kittle, and possibly Pitts.

    Now that is an awesome label, the Kwame Brown of tight ends. Well done, sir. I nominate you for post of the day.

    Friermuth is going to surprise, because Ben will love a receiver with hands. Friermuth will out snap Washington and Ebron, and the Steelers will not run many 4-wr sets.

    Not true, I had Fant last year, barely scored any TD’s but still got me points.

    Target share is everything in fantasy football. How many will Muth get with JuJu, DJ, Claypool, Harris in front of him? Sprinkle in Ebron and Washington, leaves almost nothing for Muth. He’ll be a good player/results for real life football this season but not going to be a great ROI for FF.

    He’s also a rookie, notoriously slow starters.

    They clearly like what they’ve seen which is very positive. If he can be a Redzone weapon and learn the ropes in the NFL this year I think it’s a successful season.

    Not a fan of Ebron personally. He can make the most amazing plays when he is going well but he is just so inconsistent catching the ball.

    He’s not going to surprise me, I love the pick and player, he’ll do good things this year for real life football.

    Any other time I would think starting 4 rookies would be a giant step back. But, how we ended last year, I certainly don’t think we are any worse. And, we should slowly get better. Question is how slowly?

    Slow enough that we will be on fire by the time we get in the Playoffs.

    The schedule gets progressively tougher as the season goes on. Injuries can change that in both directions, but on paper it looks like they'd better not mess around in the first half of the season.

    Problem with 2 TE sets with Ebron and friermuth is that opposing defenses automatically know we're passing..... Ebron's next good block will be his first
